Fox News host Tucker Carlson expressed dismay at YouTubes removal of certain videos during the coronavirus pandemic and wondered, "How long before this show is censored?

Carlson made the comments during a Tuesday evening segment of his show, in which he began by showing a video of Dr. Knut Wittkowski, former head of biostatistics, epidemiology, and research design at Rockefeller University.

A video of Wittkowski criticizing social distancing and speaking out against lockdowns because of the need for people to build herd immunity to COVID-19 was reportedly removed from YouTube. Rockefeller University has since distanced itself from Wittkowski, noting in an April statement that his views do not represent the institution and that he never held the title of professor at Rockefeller.

Carlson said that as the United States battles the coronavirus pandemic, diverse opinions are needed to guide how the country proceeds through unprecedented times.

Keep in mind that no one in history has ever attempted mass quarantines, Carlson said. We had no idea what would happen once we did. So what we really need is a vigorous and informed debate about potential outcomes.

Carlson said the video of Wittkowski was censored like many other videos in which doctors dare to criticize the lockdown. Why is that? There is only one reason. Google decided that disagreeing with the government is forbidden."

What will happen when that standard is applied to other issues? How long before this show is censored? Before youre censored? Carlson wondered aloud. Do you want to live in a place like that? Thats where were going fast.

Civil rights attorney Harmeet Dhillon joined the show and said the removal of videos is really truly chilling the extent to which the government is now working with our Big Tech overlords to silence our speech on various important issues.

This is the most un-American thing I can imagine. I think it is the most direct threat to our liberties that Ive seen in my 51 years, Carlson said at the close of the segment. Theyre going to try to censor Fox News next, you watch.
